“Antique” shopping

I was sent to the antique stores to see if I could find any appropriate furnishings for the new house, and this is what I came back with:

Never send a geek to do a man's job, that's my motto. Rocketeer's motto of course is "Quit lookin' at me before I blast your face in with jet exhaust." Or something like that.

Sadly, while totally cool and a great find that I definitely love, this particular action figure moves only at the head, waist, and upper arm. He also can't stand up on his own, presumably from the after-effects of a long night drinking with Betty. Not that I blame him.

If you've got a photo of an action figure or other toy on your desk that you love, by all means post it in the comments, it'd be great for everyone to see!

I wish I still had my setup. I had all manner of desktop toys at one of my last jobs. This thread makes me wish I had taken a picture.

I had the dark side and light side of the force represented equally (for proper geek shui) and most importantly … I had lego ninjas battling lego samurai across the top of my monitor (okay so that dates that particular job a little).

It’s hard to be taken seriously in computer support if your desk can’t be mistaken for an FAO Schwarz 🙂
